Goodbye 39…. Hello 40! 💃🏽🪩💖
Reflecting on my last year, and looking forward to what my 40’s bring me ✌🏽
Relationships & connection are so important, they shape who you are and gently hold up a mirror to show you your true values. I am so grateful for all of the friends (old & new) and family who have been there for me this past year, I love you all so much (even if you’re not pictured here)! You know who you are 💕

Here’s to the boys - the sweet ones, the thoughtful ones, the curious ones, the nerdy ones, the silly ones, the not-afraid-to-show-love ones… the ones that show their strength with quiet confidence, care, honesty, and resilience.
Happy Boy’s Day, and Happy Birthday to my brother @kaseyimoniz ! Henry and Kasey remind me so much of each other that I often mix up their names even when they’re not together 😆🥰
Love you guys 🩵🎏

Happy Girl’s Day - to my bird, my butterfly, my queen of nature, my justice warrior, my tiny dancer, my girl Aya 🌸 Girl’s Day has become bittersweet for us 💖 We lost our Aunty Lorraine 2 years ago today. We miss this woman terribly, every single moment of every day, but we carry her love and essence with us as best we can. She was inspiring and magical, whimsical and delightful, curious and open, warm and welcoming, so infinitely loving. She was also a nurturing mentor for countless young women & girls; She changed so many lives for the better. I found this entry/poem today in her 2013 journal. A perfect read for a young girl, or your inner child, or anyone needing to hear it:

What is it I want to tell you dear child?
What is it I would have you know
forty years earlier than me?

I would say DANCE! Yes dance
and dance some more.
Dance and sing and strum your song.
Pick up your feet
Pick up your flute
Pick up your pen
and write your song
and write your life.
Not as your father hears it
but as you do,
as your heart does
as its bursting inside to be
as the blood in your soul
wants to live its truth.

What if I told you you have
only now,
that there is no yesterday
and no tomorrow.
Would you believe me?
It’s true young one.

There is only now,
so take your scarf
from your neck
and turn it into a kite.

NO ONE WILL WRITE
WHAT YOU WRITE

I was looking through Lorraine’s journals this week, trying to find the one where she was 39 (like me!) so I could celebrate her birthday today in an age appropriate way 😁 Coincidentally, I found a 10th birthday note she wrote me when she was 39, with all of these beautiful wishes for me. I don’t strive to be like her in every way, but no one else comes close as far as inspiration. She was not perfect, even though it seemed like it to us kids… she had a lot of insecurities and struggles, less so as she got older. But she didn’t let it jade her, she worked through it very intentionally, through journaling, movement, music, nature, friendship, humor, spirituality, adventure, and curiosity. She nurtured herself, she knew her relationship with herself was the most important, the foundation to everything else. Her aura was radiant as a result, and anyone that met her could feel it.

I miss her so much you guys. So so much. Happy Birthday Aunty Lorraine ✨🦋💖🧚🏼🐾🦔🪩💃🏽🪷
Please don’t forget to honor her today by spreading some light & love into the world, God knows we need it.
